Ytterbium monotelluride is an inorganic compound, one of the tellurides of ytterbium, with the chemical formula YbTe.

Preparation

Ytterbium monotelluride can be produced by the high-temperature reduction reaction of ytterbium(III) telluride (Yb₂Te₃), or by the reaction of ytterbium(III) chloride, tellurium and hydrogen:

YbCl₃ + H₂ → YbCl₂ + 2 HCl

YbCl₂ + H₂ + Te → YbTe + 2 HCl

The thermal decomposition of ₂·₂py will also produce ytterbium monotelluride, but at the same time, ytterbium(III) nitride will be produced.
